Re: New old games in the J! Archive
Also, in the December 5, 2008 episode, I wonder what photo in the Norman Rockwell painting is shown cause whoever put this episode together originally didn't put together the proper media files in. Did the media files(and even the player profile photos) for that episode even work at all before the site was revised in 2017? Also, the entire BAEAUX TAPESTRY category media links from the December 18, 2008 episode needs to be put in real soon. Again, the person who put that episode together originally didn't get the media links to work, these episodes did appear on GSN at some point.

Re: New old games in the J! Archive
Moving on to the next India tape, we have Wednesday, December 11, 1991, Eric Goldner vs. Gail Bullion vs. Glenn Gillis.
GOLDner. Bullion. I see what they did there.
https://www.j-archive.com/showgame.php?game_id=6954
I honestly expected Glenn to get a reversal on ARCHAEOLOGY for $300
You Gotta Know... these cousins of Jerry Lee Lewis:
a) the country singer (a clue in this game)
b) the TV evangelist
c) his 13-year-old child bride
GARDENING for $1000 has 1 other hit in the Archive, but we welcome it to the J-Canon as a response:
Alex gives it a proper French accent, but M-W lists it as plain ol' English, so no italics.
Clue of the game will be DUBLIN for $1000, a Thing Worth Knowing that I did not.
An interesting footnote for FJ! The onscreen Chyron was slightly different than the clue that appeared on the monitor, probably to be able to fit the whole thing on the bottom half of the screen:
Also, the tape cuts off just as Glenn's response is about to be revealed. I'm pretty sure the correct response is
. Also, I have the next game, so I know Glenn got it right, if not what exactly he wrote down.
On to the next game. Have a sunny afternoon.

Pottery (and glass) are both fine, but I think bone is acceptable too.

a) Mickey Gilley, b) Jimmy Swaggart c) Myra Brown
Flowers like the larkspur that hold their shape & color when dried are termed this
Spoiler
What are immortelles? (Or everlasting flowers)
Clue of the game will be DUBLIN for $1000, a Thing Worth Knowing that I did not.
In the 1920s it became the 1st state-subsidized theatre in an English-speaking country
Spoiler
What is the Abbey Theatre? (Irish + Theatre = Abbey)
Also, the tape cuts off just as Glenn's response is about to be revealed. I'm pretty sure the correct response is
Spoiler
What is Kirov?
On to the next game. Have a sunny afternoon.

I don't usually bother with contestant photos, but this freeze frame was too good not to share.

"'Is named for him"? Oh, the theatre is for opera and ballet. Got it.

I assume GRIMM'S FAIRY TALES $400 isn't supposed to have that period at the end.
Was dendrochronology hyphenated, or split between two lines with a dash? If the latter, I'm not sure how it ought to be rendered in the Archive.
In ARCHAEOLOGY $400, "Moai" is rendered "Moal."
The former Surgeon General's surname in the response for PEOPLE $600 should be spelled with a K, not a C.

Dendro-
chronology was split between two lines. I added the hard return, since the hyphen was present in the actual clue.
I checked and changed the rest. Thx.

This is a case where we would alter the clue as displayed. Search is thwarted if we don't present words as the words they are intended to be.MinnesotaMyron wrote: ↑Sun Mar 28, 2021 10:04 pm Dendro-

Re: New old games in the J! Archive
...and the 1995 Teen Tournament is complete.
https://www.j-archive.com/showgame.php?game_id=6988
This appears to be a full-credits show.
It's also the sole appearance of the third, previously missing Shen sibling, Gwen Shen. I wonder if she keeps up with the piano these days.

HISTORIC NAMES $300: the wrong consonant is doubled in the Hun's name.
POP MUSIC $100: I think the band's name is always rendered with three periods (distributed, of course, not an ellipsis).
19th CENTURY MUSIC $1,000: The vowels in the correct response should be a, i, a, i.
HODGEPODGE $800: I assume Chris didn't misspeak and have it accepted; the hall is named for the noun, not the adjective.

Gets us down to eight missing tournament games plus five partials.

Re: New old games in the J! Archive
It was a gimme for me, but I don't know much about the college and wouldn't have gotten it if the clue didn't include "oceanographic institute". Add that and it becomes Pavlovian for me; the only thing that would have made it easier would have been mention of the spelling bee. Jeopardy! used to air (1984-2012) on a [*] station in my market. Their station identification bumper shows some CGI ocean waves and a lighthouse, along with the motto "Give light and the people will find their own way".MinnesotaMyron wrote: ↑Sun Apr 04, 2021 8:15 pm Boy, I'd like to see that FJ in the weekly poll.

Thanks, Sg, for the corrections.

I managed to get that FJ. Oceanographic Institute was more helpful. I live less than 5 miles away from the college.
I had a dream that I was asleep and then I woke up and Jeopardy! was on.

The only oceanographic institute I know is Woods Hole and I was pretty sure that wasn't it. I followed two of the contestants with Hearst (although I was pretty sure that wasn't it, either).Robert K S wrote: ↑Sun Apr 04, 2021 8:38 pm=

I considered both wrong responses and went with what you did as it seemed more likely to me, although I didn’t have high hopes it was right.econgator wrote: ↑Sun Apr 04, 2021 9:03 pmThe only oceanographic institute I know is Woods Hole and I was pretty sure that wasn't it.

Re: New old games in the J! Archive
Doug posted in the J! players FB group that he taped 1/8/85 and aired 4/25 - 4/28/85. Perhaps the tape date is correct though the airing span has to be incorrect with 4/27 & 4/28 the weekend.kablamfan11 wrote: ↑Wed Jan 08, 2020 4:24 pmSo, I do believe it was 4/22/85, 4/23/85, 4/24/85 & 4/25/85 if I'm right.

Re: New old games in the J! Archive
Well, at least he acknowledges a single taping and being on four days in a row (i.e. presumably uninterrupted by a weekend), which makes 4/22-25 plausible.MarkBarrett wrote: ↑Mon Apr 05, 2021 10:11 amDoug posted in the J! players FB group that he taped 1/8/85 and aired 4/25 - 4/28/85.

Edit: In November he posted a picture of himself with Alex on the set, which is unusual for a contestant from the early years. A couple people asked about it, and he said that it was taken with his own camera by a friend, "after we'd finished taping the last show of the day." That "we" makes me think his fourth game was a Friday.
